The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 26:1-23

2 Chronicles 26:0 1. Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah [this form of the name is found uniformly in Chronicles, with the single exception of 1 Chronicles 3:12 , where Azariah occurs. Uzziah is likewise the only form used by the prophets (see Isaiah 1:1 ; Isaiah 6:1 ; Isaiah 7:1 ; Hosea 1:1 ; Amo 1:1 )], who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah. 2. He built Eloth [the Idumean port on the Red Sea], and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 26:16-23

We that live in gospel times can better conceive the cause of this awful visitation on Uzziah in invading the priests office. As the offering incense typified the Lord Jesus, because none but Jesus can approach Jehovah to make intercession, and to offer sacrifice, for the sins of the people; so the daring act of any going in themselves, with their own offering, implies a despising the way of salvation the Lord hath appointed. And who, in the present hour, is in this awful state, but the man who... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 26:18

To thee. For usurping spiritual authority, the king was opposed by the high priest; and God confirmed the sentence of the latter, by striking Ozias with the leprosy; on which account, the was not only cast out of the temple, but also lost his kingdom, being obliged to live apart; (Lev. xiii. 46,) and after death, he could not be buried with his ancestors. W. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 26:16-23

16-23 The transgression of the kings before Uzziah was, forsaking the temple of the Lord, and burning incense upon idolatrous altars. But his transgression was, going into the holy place, and attempting to burn incense upon the altar of God. See how hard it is to avoid one extreme, and not run into another. Pride of heart was at the bottom of his sin; a lust that ruins many. Instead of lifting up the name God in gratitude to him who had done so much for him, his heart was lifted up to his hurt.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 26:16-23

Uzziah's Arrogance Punished v. 16. But when he was strong, when he had gained so much power and occupied such an influential position among the nations, his heart was lifted up, in sinful pride and vanity, to his destruction; for he transgressed against the Lord, his God, and went into the Temple of the Lord, into the Holy Place, to burn incense upon the altar of incense, this being the privilege of the priests alone, Exodus 30:7-Daniel :; Numbers 18:1-Judges :. v. 17. And Azariah, the... read more

Reign of Joash under the Guidance of Jehoiada: Repair of the Temple: 2 Chronicles 24:1-142 Chronicles 24:1.Joash was seven years old when he became king; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 2And Joash did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord all the days of 3Jehoiada the priest. And Jehoiada chose for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.4And it came to pass after... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Chronicles 26:16-23

the Penalty of Pride 2 Chronicles 26:16-23 The offices of priest and king were rigorously kept apart throughout the history of Israel. Melchizedek’s dual office is typical of the priestly reign of Christ, and had no counterpart in the Mosaic and Levitical ritual. Zechariah’s prediction indicated an absolutely new era, Zechariah 6:12-13 . The rash act of Uzziah was resisted by the priests, and the issue was decided by the terrible brand of leprosy which appeared suddenly upon his forehead. As... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 26:1-23

The story of Uzziah's long reign of fifty-two years is most interesting and remarkable. He was a man of strong character, and the early part of his occupancy of the throne was characterized by true prosperity. He was at once victorious in his campaigns against the enemies of the people, and remarkably successful in his internal development of the resources of the nation. A man of war, and a lover of husbandry, he was an ideal ruler. During these early years he went quietly forward in... read more

2 Chronicles 26:1-Isaiah : . The Reign of Uzziah (see notes on 2 Kings 14:21 to 2 Kings 15:7).— The Chronicler amplifies considerably the account of this reign in 2 K. which is very meagre: his additions are in all probability based, in the main, upon some historical source, since fuller records of this reign, which was one of the longest in the history of Judah, must have been in existence. 2 Chronicles 26:1 . Uzziah: called Azariah in 2 Kings 14:21; 2 Kings 15:1, etc., which is probably a... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Chronicles 26:18

They withstood Uzziah; Heb. stood up against Uzziah; not by force, or laying hands upon him to restrain him, for in the next verse you still find the censer in his hand; but only by admonition and reproof, which here follows. Neither shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God; expect that God will punish thee, or put some brand of infamy upon thee, for this presumption. But this they express modestly, and by a figure called meiosis, where more is meant than is expressed, because they... read more
